Watch: Elephant tries to hide food from approaching elephant

It seems that elephants at the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary are keenly aware of each other’s habits.

The accompanying footage shows an elephant, Sarai Mia, following sanctuary employees down a path, toward where another elephant, Kaavan, is eating through open slats in a fence.

So much for a leisurely breakfast.

In describing the footage the sanctuary wrote on Facebook: “Sarai Mia is like a friend that will come for a visit, then eat all your chips! Kaavan upon hearing her coming will try to hide his breakfast from her, fearing she will eat it all!”

As viewers can see, Kaavan uses his trunk to pull much of the food to his side of the fence, but Sarai Mia casually appropriates a hearty share.

Reads one of more than 200 comments: “I love this, it made me laugh. Kaavan had to be so quick to rescue his food!”
